ABcann Global Corporation (TSXV:ABCN) (“ABcann” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has retained VIRTUE, the creative agency powered by VICE Media, as its agency-of-record. VIRTUE, on a category-exclusive basis, will coordinate a full rebrand, and create consumer facing sub-brands for both the medical and adult-use cannabis markets. VIRTUE will also assist ABcann with creative and production services spanning across all major consumer touch points as well as an integrated launch strategy for its new brands. The account will be serviced out of VIRTUE’s Canadian headquarters in Toronto.

“VIRTUE is an award-winning marketing agency with an unwavering commitment to bold ideas. They are the ideal partners to help us to transform the Company’s brand and convey the purpose behind our current medical and upcoming adult-use cannabis businesses,” stated Sung Kang, Chief Marketing Officer of ABcann. “In addition to having first-class veterans from some of the top traditional agencies in the business, VIRTUE, the agency powered by VICE, is uniquely qualified to help by leveraging their years of insight related to cannabis. In our collaboration with VIRTUE, I look forward to building one of the most powerful brand portfolios in the industry.”
